If you have 4 players who aren't playing due to COVID and they aren't IR eligible based on our rules you are forced to dress 1 and stash 3 on your bench. You could have as many depth pieces in your minors that cannot be recalled because these players are not IR illegible and occupying a bench slot when they aren't playing. If your bench slots are currently open you effectively have 3 makeshift COVID IR slots that you can move your players to recall from minors.Sensfanjosh wroteCOLONIsn't this the case regardless?Jordan (VGK) wroteCOLONReading between the lines: You can get this advantage by having exempt pieces & empty bench slots.Matthew wroteCOLONThe games for Carolina will be made up at a later date. If we did what ur saying foofnik, any bbkl team who have carolina players will be at a pretty distinct advantage to their opponents (who don't own carolina players) in terms of gp (given the spot, that say, aho has would get my ir players gp, and doubled gp for aho at a later date).
It may be simpler to say that if a player goes to the covid protocol individually, then at a later date his entire team has multiple games canceled, then staal must be taken off of ir on the next roster lock.
Seems like the more fair way would be to allow everyone to have this flexibility regardless of how many players are on their bench.
Just forces subptimal lineups or waiver decisions that shouldn't be decisions.
